Positionality & Reflexivity Policy

School of Anthropology & Society › Positionality & Reflexivity Policy

Researchers must reflect on insider and outsider positions; physical and virtual presence; social identity; professional authority; power relations; language and translation; access and privilege; bias and emotion; platform identity, profiles, visibility, and participation; and ethical responsibility.

Learners must always distinguish

  • What they observed
  • What users posted
  • What participants said
  • What the platform made visible
  • How they interpreted it
  • What remains uncertain
